With the end of the Chinese Super League, the eyes of Chinese fans once again shifted to the national brand game. Just recently, our Chinese men's football team is about to play two very important games, that is, qatar World Cup Round of 12 away games against Japan and Vietnam. Both of these games are actually impossible to lose or even have to win. If the national football team cannot win the Japanese team, then it will lose the possibility of theoretically qualifying for the World Cup and completely lose the World Cup. And if you lose to the Vietnamese team on the night of the New Year's Day, it will definitely cause an earthquake in Chinese football, when it is likely that the new coach Li Xiaopeng, who has just taken office, will leave class and become the shortest head coach in the history of national football. So these two games are also the focus of everyone's attention.
For Li Xiaopeng, facing such an important game in this appointment, it is indeed a huge pressure. And Li Xiaopeng's own preparation time is not abundant, from becoming the new coach of the national football team to leading the team to play the game is more than 1 month, and there are leagues during the period, after the league is over, the players are still resting, after the break may be one to two weeks of normal training, there is no warm-up game to play. In the face of such a dilemma, Li Xiaopeng also broke the boat and summoned as many as 52 people to enter the national team. The goal is clear, which is to observe as many players as possible, and these players can team up to play warm-up matches. There is no way out.
Logically, Li Xiaopeng can select 52 people, which means that almost all the young talents in the Chinese Super League should have been in the pocket. And the big list of 52 people, basically every team will have an international team, which also avoids the situation that individual teams are not satisfied, and creates a good public opinion environment for the national football team. However, although this list is crowded, it is not perfect, and the selection of several of them has also caused some doubts among fans. One of the most puzzling is the 25-year-old striker Wang Ziming, who plays for the Beijing Guoan team this year.
Everyone knows that Wang Ziming was one of the main U23 players of the Beijing Guoan team, and in the 2019 season, he competed fiercely with Zhang Yuning in the front position of the Beijing Guoan team, and in the case of relatively few starting and playing time, Wang Ziming played a higher efficiency, scoring 7 goals in 10 starts in 26 games, while Zhang Yuning scored 8 goals in 19 starts in 25 games. Even at that time, many fans thought that Wang Ziming was stronger than Zhang Yuning. Later, Wang Ziming also entered the national team because of his excellent performance in the league, and in the friendly match between the national football team and the Philippines 2-0, he came off the bench in the 80th minute, and as soon as he played, he hit the upright with a kick and was very amazing.
However, in the 2020 season, as Zhang Yuning sat firmly in the starting lineup, and he was no longer a U23 player, Wang Ziming's chances of playing were becoming less and less. In the 2020 season, he played 15 league games, including 2 starts, scoring 1 goal and 2 assists, which is much worse than the previous season. However, this is not the lowest point, just this season, Wang Ziming played 18 games in 6 games to start 0 goals and 0 assists, this data is a little difficult for players in the forward position.
However, Li Xiaopeng, the new coach of the national football team, does not seem to think so, and in this list of 52 people, there is still The name of Wang Ziming. And because there are veterans like Lu Wenjun who scored 7 goals and were not selected, it also made Wang Ziming get some questions. But soon Wang Ziming proved himself with a goal.
On the 16th, the national football team was led by two assistant coaches, Li Jinyu and Chen Yang, to play a warm-up teaching game, and the result was a 1-1 draw. Among them, Li Jinyu's team scored was Wang Ziming. Chen Yang scored by centre-back Zhu Chenjie, while their striker Zhang Yuning did not score. It can be said that the direct confrontation between these two forwards is still Wang Ziming winning, and it can be seen that Wang Ziming's state is better.
In fact, Wang Ziming's strength is definitely there, but most of his play this season is on the bench, and the time is too short, resulting in him not fully playing. That is to say, 0 goals in 19 games is just an illusion, and the first warm-up of the national team is the real force. And this position of the national team center forward really needs more competitors, after all, at present, Zhang Yuning and Guo Tianyu are actually injured, once they are not well recovered from the injury, at least someone can top it. Are you optimistic about Wang Ziming? Do you think Wang Ziming can rank in the first place in the position of the center of the national football team?
